localmodconfig: Fix localyesconfig to set to 'y' not 'm'

2012-10-12T20:46:57+00:00

commit 4eae518d4b01b0cbf2f0d8edb5a6f3d6245ee8fb upstream.

The kbuild target 'localyesconfig' has been same as 'localmodconfig'
since the commit 50bce3e "kconfig/streamline_config.pl: merge
local{mod,yes}config". The commit expects this script generates
different configure depending on target, but it was not yet implemented.

So I added code that sets to 'yes' when target is 'localyesconfig'.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-12T20:46:52+00:00

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains backslashes

2012-10-12T20:46:52+00:00

commit c353acba28fb3fa1fd05fd6b85a9fc7938330f9c upstream.

The call if_changed mechanism does not work when the command contains
backslashes.  This basically is an issue with lzo and bzip2 compressed
kernels.  The compressed binaries do not contain the uncompressed image
size, so these use size_append to append the size.  This results in
backslashes in the executed command.  With this if_changed always
detects a change in the command and rebuilds the compressed image even
if nothing has changed.

Fix this by escaping backslashes in make-cmd

checkpatch: suggest pr_ over printk(KERN_

2012-06-01T00:49:27+00:00

Suggest the shorter pr_ instead of printk(KERN_.

Prefer to use pr_ over bare printks.
Prefer to use pr_warn over pr_warning.

checkpatch: check for whitespace before semicolon at EOL

2012-06-01T00:49:27+00:00

Requires --strict option during invocation:
	~/linux$ scripts/checkpatch --strict foo.patch

This tests for a bad habits of mine like this:

	return 0 ;

Note that it does allow a special case of a bare semicolon
for empty loops:

	while (foo())
		;
